Girls with early puberty who take certain hormone treatments might grow more slowly later on if their bones are maturing too fast — this could mean they stop growing sooner than others.

Girls with early puberty who get a certain hormone treatment tend to have slower bone aging—about 1 year less—compared to girls who don’t get the treatment.

In girls getting treatment for early puberty, how fast they're growing after a year is linked to their height, weight, and how much weight they've gained during that time.

For girls who start puberty too early, a treatment using certain hormones can help them grow taller than expected — especially if they get a combo of two hormone treatments.

For girls with early puberty who are treated with two hormones (one for puberty and one for growth), the ones who grow more during treatment tend to have started with a lower predicted adult height and more mature bones. How long or how much growth hormone they take doesn’t seem to affect how much they grow.

Girls with early puberty who get a certain hormone treatment tend to grow about 3 inches taller as adults compared to those who don’t get it, according to a review of several studies.
